FONTS
Posted: Thu Jul 13, 2017 11:16 pm
I've been working on creating some custom lettering for my mod today. This naturally leads me to ask: what does 3DGE support in terms of fonts?
I notice that edge2.wad has an image in it called "confont2" that is a straight image file of some ASCII-ordered characters, but I don't recognize that font being used anywhere in the game.
If 3DGE does support fonts stored in such a fashion, it would be exceedingly more convenient than saving each glyph as an individual file.
But having said that, I also see the slightly-smaller-than-the-small-font used in the menus is stored in that same wad as individual glyphs, which has me suspicious that 3DGE doesn't support anything other than one glyph per file.
